Corporate
Rebels
United

Are you also ready to do what hasn’t been done before?

What is the problem?

Our organizations no longer serve our needs. They cannot keep pace with a high-velocity, hyper-connected world. They no longer can do what we need them to do. Change is required.

What is the vision?

We love our organizations and want them to succeed. We want to reboot our corporate and organizational culture to install a 21st century, digitally native version, to accelerate positive viral change from deep within the fabric of our organizations, and to reclaim our passion for work.

What is Corporate Rebels United?

We are building a global network of change catalysts that act from deep personal awareness and presence, and an irresistible enthusiasm. Our actions will lead to new product and services and new global practices for value creation, agility and velocity. We are architects and scouts into the future, and we want to guide our organizations in navigating a safe path from now to then.

 

We are holding a space.

We are making and holding a space where everybody can have a voice in service of value creation. The DNA of our movement is a platform of core principles that are the basis for us to connect, to practice, to embrace, and to inspire other to dream and make our dreams come true.

How do we define success?

When we have a community of 10,000 pods worldwide, with a good distribution across industries and regions. When we feel whole at work. When the DNA is established, when the pods start to divide, enabled by the lightweight space we are holding. Holding a space is a about context; the job is done when the space is holding itself, when people start saying: “I suddenly feel free to be awesome.” When our practice gets the same attention in annual reports as efficiency practices such as Lean and SixSigma.

Help us articulate the principles.

We are now defining the DNA: A platform of common principles that define who we are and what we stand for. We could use your help.

• Principle-2: We dare to be great.

• Principle-4: We will reboot our corporate and organizational culture to install a 21st century, digitally native version.

• Principle-6: We enable and empower the rest of our organizations to move at rapid pace, but with room for patience and reflection.
• Principle-7: We unleash the enormous potential that lies within every human being within our organizations.
• Principle-8: We re-ignite the passion in our organizations.
• Principle-9: We are not just talkers, but doers.
• Principle-10: We are building a global network of change catalysts that act from their true selves.
• Principle-11: Our actions lead to new product and services and new global practices for value creation, agility and velocity.
• Principle-12: Our community acts from deep personal awareness and presence, and an irresistible enthusiasm opening up old rusty structured.

• Principle-17: We maintain integrity and relevance..
• Principle-18: We keep our community a safe environment, where you can become who you want to become. Where you are not alone in being a catalyst.
• Principle-19: Our core values are integrity, clarity of reason, brightness and great positive energy.
• Principle-20: Reflection, reporting back and adding-on to each others input and opinions is our natural way of collecting and discussing opinions.

Join us.

Start a pod. Organize yourself. Decide on your own activities, your own resources, and your own relationships. And link them back to the mothership, the DNA platform of common, core, connected principles.
